Abstract

[Solution] Provided are a decorating powder composition including a glossy powder which has been surface-treated with a silane compound or a silazane compound, and a method for decorating a solid cosmetic material, the method including causing the decorating powder composition to adhere to a printing plate and then bringing the printing plate into contact with a surface of the solid cosmetic material to transfer the decorating powder composition to the surface of the solid cosmetic material and decorate the solid cosmetic material.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a decorating powder composition for decorating the surface of a solid cosmetic material such as eye shadow, foundation, and lipstick.

BACKGROUND ART

In solid cosmetic materials such as eye shadow, foundation, and lipstick, it is important to use a technique for decorating the surface of the cosmetic materials by means of, for example, patterns and letters using titanated mica (pearl agent) having gloss, or the like, in order to realize a beautiful appearance to attract consumer's attention.
As a technique for decorating the surface of a cosmetic material with a pattern or the like, an electrostatic screen printing method is known in which a voltage is applied between a powder coating material on a screen and an object to be coated so as to charge the object and the powder, and an electrostatic force is used to adhere the powder coating material to the object to be coated. However, although the electrostatic screen printing method excels in terms of making it possible to perform printing without applying a pressure to the surface of the object to be coated, and also enabling printing on objects to be coated with rough surfaces, fine patterns and letters are likely to become unclear and this method cannot be used for decorating solid cosmetic materials.
Further, in the inkjet printing method in which the dispersion of a powder coating material is sprayed onto the object to be coated, when a powder coating material including titanated mica (pearl agent) having a large particle diameter is used, a nozzle for ejecting the dispersion is easily clogged by the powder, and such a method is not suitable for mass production as a printing method for decorating solid cosmetic materials.
Meanwhile, in a so-called letterpress printing method in which a powder coating material is adhered to a printing plate and the printing plate is pressed against the object to be coated to transfer the powder coating material to the surface of the object to be coated, a fine pattern can be represented, but since the amount of the powder coating material adhering to the printing plate is not uniform and the pattern is likely to become unclear, such a method cannot be said to be sufficient for decorating the surface of solid cosmetic materials.
Therefore, it is required to develop a decorating powder composition aimed at decoration of the surface of a solid cosmetic material, in particular, for obtaining a solid cosmetic material having a beautiful appearance which is surface-decorated with a glossy powder, and a decorating method using the decorating powder composition.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

The decorating powder composition of the present invention and the decorating method using the same will be described in detail hereinbelow.
The decorating powder composition includes a glossy powder which has been surface-treated with a silane compound or a silazane compound.
The glossy powder is a plate-like or spherical powder having an interference color, pearly luster, or metallic luster. Such powder is also generally called a pearl agent and is a general-purpose powder in the fields of paints and cosmetic materials. When the surface of a solid cosmetic material is decorated with the glossy powder, the pattern or letters obtained by decoration exhibits emphasized brightness and excellent aesthetic sensation can be given.
Examples of glossy plate-like powders include titanated mica, iron oxide-coated titanated mica, carmine-coated titanated mica, titanated mica coated with carmine and iron blue, titanated mica treated with iron oxide and carmine, titanated mica treated with iron blue, titanated mica treated with iron oxide and iron blue, titanated mica treated with chromium oxide, titanated mica treated with black titanium oxide, aluminum powder coated with acrylic resin, aluminum powder coated with silica, mica coated with titanium oxide, bismuth oxychloride coated with titanium oxide, talc coated with titanium oxide, mica coated with colored titanium oxide, synthetic mica coated with titanium oxide, silica coated with titanium oxide, alumina coated with titanium oxide, glass flakes coated with titanium oxide, polyethylene terephthalate-polymethyl methacfrylate laminated film powder, bismuth oxychloride, fish scale foil and the like.
Examples of the commercially available products include products manufactured by Merck KGaA, such as Timiron Splendid Gold™, Timiron Splendid Red™, Timiron Splendid Blue™, Timiron Splendid Green™, Timiron Super Red™, Timiron Super Blue™, Timiron Super Green™, Timiron Super Gold™, Colorona Sienna™, Colorona Passion Orange™, Colorona Carmin Red™, and Colorona Red Gold™; products manufactured by BASF SE such as Cloisonne Blue™, Cloisonne Green™, Cloisonne Gold™, Cloisonne Rouge Flambe™, Cloisonne Vivid Red™, Gemtone Tan Opal™, Gemtone Ruby™, Timica Brilliant Gold™, Timica Golden Bronze™, Timica Copper™, Duochrome RB™, Duochrome RY™, Duochrome YR™, Duochrome YB™, Duochrome RG™, Duochrome BG™, Duochrome BR™, Duochrome GY™, Flamenco Velvet™, Flamenco Satina™, Flamenco Red™, Flamenco Blue™, and Flamenco Gold™; products manufactured by Engelhard Corporation, such as Timica Brilliant Gold™, Timica Copper™, and Reflecks™ series; products manufactured by Topy Industries, Ltd., such as Helius R100S™ and Helios R100Y™; and products manufactured by Nippon Sheet Glass Co., Ltd., such as Metashine™ series and the like.
Examples of glossy spherical powders include composite powders obtained by coating the surface of spherical silicon dioxide, alumina, calcium carbonate, barium sulfate, Nylon, polyethylene, polystyrene, and poly(methyl methacrylate) with titanium dioxide, titanium oxide, zinc oxide, zirconium oxide, iron oxide, or the like. Such composite powders are disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Publication No. H11-236315. The above lists are not limiting, and any spherical powder exhibiting gloss can be widely used as a component of the decorating powder composition.
The silane compound or silazane compound preferably has an alkyl group or a fluoroalkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms and has reactivity with an inorganic oxide. Specific examples of the silane compound include hexyltrimethoxysilane, octyltrimethoxysilane, decyltrimethoxysilane, octadecyltrimethoxysilane, octyltriethoxysilane, trifluoropropyltrimethoxysilane, heptadecafluorodecyltrimethoxysilane, and the like. Of these, octyltriethoxysilane and octyltrimethoxysilane are particularly preferable. Specific examples of the silazane compound include hexamethyldisilazane, octyldisilazane, and the like among which octyldisilazane is particularly preferred.
A method for treating a glossy powder with a silane compound or a silazane compound is exemplified by a method involving mixing a silane compound or a silazane compound and a powder in an organic solvent such as n-hexane, cyclohexane, or a lower alcohol, optionally finely pulverizing, then removing the organic solvent by heating or decompression, and further heating at about 80° C. to 250° C. to chemically react the silane compound or the silazane compound on the surface of the powder, and a method involving mixing a silane compound or a silazane compound and a powder without a solvent, and heating at about 80° C. to 250° C. to chemically react the silane compound or the silazane compound on the surface of the powder. The surface-treated powders can be also used after optional crushing.
Powders surface-treated with a silane compound or a silazane compound are also commercially available. For example, an OTS-treated pigment, which is a product manufactured by Daito Kasei Kogyo Co., Ltd., can be also used as a powder surface-treated with n-octyltriethoxysilane.
The decorating powder composition used for decorating a solid cosmetic material can be constituted only by a glossy powder surface-treated with a silane compound or a silazane compound, or can be combined with another powder, pigment or the like. In this case, the amount of the surface-treated glossy powder to be blended in the decorating powder composition is not particularly limited, but in order to effectively exhibit the characteristics thereof, this amount is preferably in the range of 50% by weight to 100% by weight, and more preferably in the range of 80% by weight to 100% by weight.
The solid cosmetic material is not particularly limited as long as it is a cosmetic material in a solid form, such as make-up cosmetic materials such as foundation, eye shadow, lipstick and lip cream, and hair cosmetic materials such as hair stick. However, powder solid cosmetic materials such as foundation and eye shadow are particularly preferable as solid cosmetic materials for exhibiting a beautiful decorating effect with a glossy powder. Further, the solid cosmetic material is not limited by the molding method, and wet molded, dry molded, and oily molded products can be widely used.
As shown in FIG. 1, the method for decorating a solid cosmetic material involves lowering a printing plate (2) from a stationary state (state (a)), causing a decorating powder composition (1) to adhere to the printing plate surface (state (b)), bringing the printing plate into contact with the solid cosmetic material to transfer the decorating powder composition to the surface of the solid cosmetic material (states (c) and (d)), and completing the decoration of the solid cosmetic material (state (e)).
As a material of the printing plate, metals such as stainless steel and aluminum, and synthetic resins can be widely used. In addition, as long as the decorating powder composition can be caused to adhere to the printing plate and can thereafter be transferred to the solid cosmetic material surface, the printing plate is not limited to a specific printing method and a relief printing method, an offset printing method and the like can be widely used.
The decorating powder composition including a glossy powder which has been surface-treated with a silane compound or a silazane compound is smoothly transferred to the solid cosmetic while uniformly adhering to the printing plate, and demonstrates good adhesion to the surface of the solid cosmetic material. Therefore, it is possible to obtain an excellent decorating effect. Further, conventionally, it has been necessary to blend an oil component such as an ink material with a decorating pigment. However, by using the decorating powder composition, it is possible to perform excellent decoration with a glossy powder or with a mixed powder or a glossy powder and another powder, without blending an oily component.

Examples

The results of the confirmation tests of the effects obtained with the decorating powder composition of the present invention are described as examples.
An adhesion state of each decorating powder composition to a printing plate and a state after transferring the decorating powder composition from the printing plate to a solid cosmetic materials were observed with respect to the case in which a decorating powder composition including a pearl agent which has been surface-treated with octyltriethoxysilane was used (Example 1), the case in which a pearl agent which has been surface-treated with dimethicone was used (Comparative Example 1), and the case in which a pearl agent which has not been surface-treated was used (Comparative Example 2) (the formulation examples of the compositions are shown in Table 1).
The rouge of the formulation shown in Table 2 was used as the solid cosmetic material. The powdered components in the formulations 1 to 8 were mixed, the dissolved and mixed oily components 9 to 14 were mixed therewith, and ethanol was thereafter added to obtain slurry. The slurry was filled and molded in a middle dish, the surface was decorated with the pearl agent of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 and dried, and the rouge surface was observed to compare the states of the pearl agent transferred from the printing plate.
FIG. 2 shows the photograph of the surface of the printing plate before the adhesion of the pearl agent, the surface of the printing plate to which the respective pearl agent has adhered, and the surface of the decorated solid cosmetic material. It was confirmed that the pearl agent of Example 1 uniformly adhered to the printing plate, whereas the pearl agents of Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 did not adhere uniformly. Further, the pearl agent of Example 1 produced a fine and clear pattern on the surface of the rouge, whereas with the pearl agents of Comparative Examples 1 and 2, the amount of the pearl agent to be transferred was insufficient and a clear pattern could not be obtained. FIG. 3 shows another embodiment in which the surface of the rouge is decorated by drawing letters thereon by using the decorating powder composition of Example 1. In this case, a sufficient decorating effect could be confirmed.

Further, for various kinds of pearl agents which were surface-treated with octyltriethoxysilane, the adhesiveness to the printing plate was evaluated. Where the adhesion of the powder to the printing plate is uneven, it is impossible to draw a pattern or letters on the surface of the solid cosmetic material, and the solid cosmetic material cannot be adequately decorated. In addition, where the powder aggregates and excessively adheres to the printing plate, when the printing plate is brought into contact with the solid cosmetic materials, the powder scatters and mass production becomes difficult.
